Euphorbia resinifera, commonly known as Moroccan Mound, is a slow-growing, succulent shrub native to the Atlas Mountains. It forms dense, cushion-shaped clumps of four-angled, pale green stems that resemble cacti. These stems are armed with short, sharp spines and exude a highly toxic, milky latex when damaged. This drought-tolerant plant thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens or xeriscaping in warm climates.
